About this chalet rental
Located on 15 acres, our luxury chalet offers panoramic views of Nelson’s mountains and Kootenay Lake. Watch the sun rise over the mountains, then walk through the forest on the property to access the private beach on Kootenay Lake. Hitting the slopes? You’re not far–Whitewater Ski Resort is a 30-minute drive. In the evening, soak in the hot tub or lounge by the fire. Stay connected if you need to with Starlink Wi-Fi. Ideal for couples and families looking to unwind. Life is better in The Woods.
The space
Welcome to The Woods!
The main floor is home to a gourmet chef's kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, gas range, marble countertops, 3 sinks, and a large island with a breakfast bar set the stage for memorable meals. The kitchen also contains a desk space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the living room. Two-storey vaulted ceilings, comfortable furniture, a gas fireplace, and entertainment system nestle you in mountain charm. The TV has AppleTV, and Netflix is provided.
Steps down from the kitchen is the solarium. The walls are covered in floor to ceiling windows and there are skylights galore. The large dining table makes this the picture perfect place to enjoy your meal.
The main floor bathroom contains a spacious shower.
The upper floor of the home is a large open concept master suite that contains the master bedroom, master bathroom, laundry facilities, one small bedroom, and one additional sleeping space. The upstairs master bathroom is remarkable: double sinks, a large shower, and a freestanding soaker tab that overlooks the mountains. The open concept nature of this space makes it a great choice for families or couples.
This home has central heating and air conditioning. When the temperatures outside soar, you can be in climate-controlled comfort. When it’s frosty, you’ll be cozy and warm.
Sleeping arrangements:
• Main floor bedroom: 1 Queen bed.
• Upstairs bedroom 1: 1 King bed. Please note: this bedroom does not have a door.
• Upstairs bedroom 2: 1 single bed. Please note: this room is located directly outside the main upstairs bedroom. It is small and windowless but has noise cancelling insulation. Ideal for children or light sleepers.
• Upstairs space 3: 1 twin over twin trundle bed. Please note: this bed is located in an alcove by the stairway. It does not have a door.
Patio furniture and a shade umbrella make the wraparound deck a wonderful place for relaxing afternoons watching the birds and eagles fly overhead.
Just through the gate in the backyard is a 7-person hot tub overlooking the mountains and lake. Take in the sights as your stress seeps away. Please note that this amenity is shared with the other dwellings on the property.
While visiting, we recommend meandering along the property’s many pathways. You might catch a glimpse of roaming elk, deer and even turkeys. A 10-minute walk through the forest takes you to a private beach on the shores of the Kootenay River.
To the right of the chalet is a graded fire pit area.

Great stay, so lovely it has air conditioning!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We really loved this place and would definitely stay again. The description of a space at the top of the stairs with a trundle sofa/bed as a "Bedroom with 2 single beds" caused us some difficulties (and yes, we should have paid more attention to the written description and the photos). And it would be fantastic if the Chalet had its own hot tub. I understand that it would be expensive and you have water supply issues, but we never used the shared hot tub because it would have felt weird to go into the Lodge's space. There were people staying there with a number of dogs and it would have felt really awkward to have a group of people walking through their yard to the tub. Everything else, though, was great.

We loved staying here are hope to again.The big disappointment is that we were told of ongoing issues with the air conditioner (that it wasn't working) just before arrival. It was VERY uncomfortable upstairs in the master suite. Our friends didn't sleep at all. We slept in the downstairs bedroom which wasn't much better AND those windows didn't open. The dining room was stifling. After a very hot day riding motorcycles from Spokane we were miserable. I honestly would never rent a place that didn't have air conditioning as that is our preference. It would have been nice to have been offered a discount or been given a chance to make a different decision. Also being asked to turn the instant hot water heater off when we didn't need hot water, and also asked not to use the clothes washer for our personal use, it starts to feel like the issue is electricity expenses...at our expense. Perhaps raise the cost of renting the home a bit and allow your guests to be comfortable for their stay. This is just how it felt. Pluses: The kitchen is magical.

The Chalet was very nice. The part we enjoyed most was the outdoor areas. The weather was great and most time was spent on the decks and yard areas.
